Several decades ago I visualised a band I'd like to have - an acoustic, blues based band. I don't know whether I took my cue from John Mayall's acoustic "Turning Point" group featuring John Mark and Johnny Almond but it stemmed from around that time. I visualised an instrumental line-up as follows;
National steel guitar, upright(bar room quality) piano, trumpet / harmonica, miscellaneous percussion implements and a row of congas. There would also be palm trees and/or cactii on stage, reflecting the sometimes more exotic nature of the blues. This was the band I'd be in, but right now I'm going to fantasise this modified line up.
